Victoria, Dental Hygienist

Victoria has been working alongside Dr. Koczarski for 17 1/2 years — almost his entire career. In that time, she has become an expert dental hygienist with a focus on teeth cleaning. She performs both regular and periodontal cleanings, as well as restorative procedures.

Victoria originally hails from the Philippines, but is a long-time Washington resident who currently lives in Bothell. She considers getting her hygiene license “in the beautiful state of Washington” to be a highlight of her career, but it’s her patients who give her the biggest sense of satisfaction.

“I love meeting people and establishing long-term relationships,” she says. “I strive to be a true caregiver to my patients, in every sense of the word.”

Victoria is also passionate about travel, food, running, hot yoga and Goju Karate, in which she holds a black belt. In both her work and her personal life, she embraces the philosophy that life is a gift. “Like any gift, I use it wisely,” she says. “And I have fun.”
